The teenage victim in the statutory rape case against Memphis businessman Mark Giannini testified in court Thursday that he gave her $300 on the day they met and that she never told him she was 17-years old.

Giannini said he never asked her age.

The teen told the court she listed her age as 20 on the Seeking Arrangements website where they connected in December 2017, and that her Facebook page has 1994 as the year of her birth and that she was married.

Giannini was acquitted on a rape charge last year and has two other rape cases pending. Also last year, he entered a no contest plea on a felony drug charge for possession of the anxiety drug Alprazolam with intent to deliver a Class D felony.

He was sentenced to four years, which included the two years he'd already served and two years probation.

However, prosecutors want Giannini's probation revoked based on this new arrest.

In a hearing on Thursday, Criminal Court Judge W. Mark Ward heard testimony from the girl's mother, an FBI special agent on the case, Giannini and the victim.

The victim, who turns 18 in December, told the court she was an entrepreneur and wanted to find a mentor through Seeking Arrangements who could help with her business aspirations.

After meeting Giannini online, they met in person at 6 a.m. at a Starbucks near his home. After that 45-minute meeting, he gave her $300 for her "time" and invited her to his home but did not pressure her to meet him again, she said.

She went to his home later that day where they talked for a while and had sex.

The victim also said that within 15 minutes of meeting Giannini he'd shown her his ankle monitor and told her about his charges, but she wasn't concerned.

"No. I tend to have a very strong sense of discernment," she said.

During the months they were involved, Giannini testified that he gave her between $1,000 and $1,500 just to help her out.

Giannini's attorney, Steve Farese, characterized the girl as intelligent, ambitious and said she already was a partner in several small businesses.

"I consider you an exceptional person," Farese said.

However, prosecutors argued that Giannini, 52, should have known she was underage, pointing to posts on her Facebook page with middle school pictures dated 2014.

"She didn't look young to me," said Giannini, who stated she looked to be in her mid-20s and that "for a period" he loved her.

The girl's mother also testified that she knew her daughter was presenting herself as older than she was and that she was not taking her medication for depression.

FBI Special Agent Jaime Corman showed Ward videos of two sexual encounters between Giannini and the victim recorded with his knowledge on the teen's cell phone.

At one point during the relationship, the victim called Giannini and told him she was in the hospital, said assistant district attorney Eric Christensen.

"Was it Le Bonheur (Children's Hospital)?" Christensen said.

Giannini was an owner of the information technology firm Service Assurance and a former board member of the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Memphis, the Memphis Botanic Garden and the Greater Memphis Chamber of Commerce.

Giannini was acquitted last year of raping a woman in 2014 at his Eads home in East Shelby County. He also was indicted on charges of raping two other women: a 19-year-old in 2002, and a 23-year-old in 2013. Those cases are pending.
